QUESTION OF THE DAY

“When will our local Habits start serving the Golden Chicken Sandwich?! (Fresh, filleted chicken breast, hand-breaded with house-made seasoned flour and buttermilk, cooked to a juicy golden brown and topped with creamy, spiced red pepper sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles) It is available at every Habit in the country except for the ones in Santa Barbara/Goleta. Sad!”

The Golden Chicken Sandwich is one of the best fried chicken sandwiches in the country. It is worth the drive to Ventura. Bad move on the Habit brothers for not adding this one to thier stores. I know frying battered chicken in the fryers can screw up the oil for the french fries but it would still be worth having on the menu. Dear Mr. Reichard please admit defeat and add the Golden Chicken Sandwich to your SB stores.

It’s the absence of their grilled pastrami sandwich that I lament. I can get a crispy chicken sandwich almost anywhere but pastrami with some fat, grilled with onions, served with pickles…man o’ man, hard to find, even harder now.

Only thing I want the Habit’s to serve is their Pastrami, it was the best in town and yes I have been to Norton’s and Pickles & Swiss. Right now the only decent Pastrami is at Tinker’s in Summerland.
But have you noticed that the to go bags at Habit still have Pastrami listed on them ? I was a weekly regular at Habit since they are so close to my work, only been twice in the last year.
